A trigonal‐prismatic hexagold cage was obtained by combining a triphenylene‐tris(N‐heterocyclic carbene) ligand and a carbazolyl‐bis(alkynyl) linker. The metallocage has a slot‐like cavity with a volume of about 300 Å 3 . The cage was used for the recognition of several polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Due to the perfect dimensional match, the supramolecular complex shows a very high affinity for trapping coronene.
